Well some of us know to well the frustration of a binding tranny. We have tried new gears, shaving the bearing holder in the case, running without the bearing....ect ect

The final conclusion was that the gear case itself was at fault.....Now HR (Hot Racing) has come out with an alloy gear case and it is spot on for gear clearance....no more binding! It also has the added benefit of acting as a motor heat sink.

Check it out!

HR Tranny Case

Here's a couple of pics mounted in a TMC chassis

a bit spendy but fixed the problem properly, no more hacked parts

Great! There goes more money. But do they look nice.

getbent · 06-30-2010, 08:23 PM

Sooo..... judging by the pix you have one in hand and can confirm there is no more binding? Does it seem to help quiet down the gear noise at all? Looks promising. Thanks for the info!

Dogbreath · 06-30-2010, 08:31 PM

well it's not exactly "In Hand"....it's more like "In Truck"

....but yeah it cures the binding....however the gear noise is just the nature of the beast, not much you can do about that

JeepinOR · 06-30-2010, 11:59 PM

Good stuff you guys. LowCrawl mentioned this too.

boohoo · 07-01-2010, 06:41 AM

ahh sugar more shiny stuff to buy.

but if it helps with the binding then thats good

i cant get one no-one has any in europe and the us sites ive tried wont sent abroad

losilover · 07-01-2010, 08:36 AM

that thing looks a world better too.

jevyguy · 07-01-2010, 09:45 AM

I am ok with the price, however the shipping on this little thing is through the roof. More than half the price of the case...

Edit: I take that back. After checking out the price changes dramatically

Peaker · 07-01-2010, 11:30 AM

Yeah

i have been eyeballing that T-case for a couple of days,allso tried to order one but site was dumbass insisting on me putting in a US phonenumber and postal area so no dice so far.

I want one !

Gvus · 07-01-2010, 02:43 PM

Ordered mine.

Dogbreath · 07-01-2010, 05:22 PM

Shipping outside the USA is a little expensive anymore, however they will do it, go back to the order page and click on SHIPPING at the top of the page, it will give you the following info for ordering outside the USA

Quote:

Outside the USA:
Nearly all orders outside the USA ship for $26. Large, or heavy packages will be more expensive.
Due to the exceptionally high fraud rate we have experienced with overseas orders, we require the following:

Readable copy of the front of your credit card
Readable copy of the rear of your credit card
The name of the bank that issues your credit card
A telephone number we can reach you. Not a wireless phone.
A clear list of the items you would like with descriptions

All of these things should be faxed to 603-595-1498. You the buyer will be responsible for all taxes and duties related to your package, as well as all insurance claims. You will receive an invoice inside the package for the full amount the items are valued.

willy1106 · 07-01-2010, 06:31 PM

ordered a few myself. along with a few other goodies i found on the site. i'm starting to wonder if these micros are more expensive than the 1/10 scale.

Stormin2u · 07-01-2010, 07:48 PM

Nice heads up Dog.

Well, you are sort of a Micro-whore.

(I can't say that I don't like your style!)

VredenCrew · 07-02-2010, 11:41 PM

Mine came in today and I threw it in the micro. All I can say is smooth like butter. No binding and less heat. Well worth the money....

CrawlinMike · 07-03-2010, 05:34 AM

Hey dogbreath, can you post a link to your chassis and esc/rx? Looks like that chassis wouldn't work otherwise. I run my micro pretty often but have only been on the wheely king and SC forums the last few months. I must be lucky so far with the tranny binding. My drivetrain has been great so far but I will get the tranny anyways. I had a thought to make it a scaler but figured I have 1/10 scalers and no comp worthy rig but i am constantly on a crawler site

I am determined to make my micro as capable as possible. It already has a lot of time on it since I bought my new house here I have an acre to run all my rcs.

JeepinOR · 07-03-2010, 08:44 AM

If I may - in this thread the chassis Dogbreath is using is Blade's TMC, found here: http://www.crawlerx.net/ Do note that for some reason it seems the site is down, or something...
DB is also using the stock ESC/Rx; it has been decased and covered with black shrink tube/wrap.

My tranny/cover wasn't too bad but I did need to open up the upper bearing seat on the tranny cover. I've taken off all the material I want to at this point and there's a bit of binding left, but it's better. I'll try this when I've the 'extra' cash.

LowCrawl · 07-03-2010, 10:48 AM

Got you covered JeepinCA! Keep an eye on the mail

DANALLY · 07-17-2010, 07:54 PM
